AI: Databricks' Rapid Model Advancements
The recent release of Databricks' (DBRX) model highlights two remarkable feats that underscore the rapid evolution of AI technology. Firstly, it exemplifies the power of open-source and open-science methodologies in accelerating AI progress. The journey from Trevor Gale's MegaBlocks to Mistral AI's Mixtral and now to Databricks' Mosaic Research DBRX showcases how collaborative efforts enable continuous innovation and refinement in AI models. Secondly, Databricks achieved the development and training of this model in an astonishingly short period of 2-3 months, a feat previously unthinkable just a year ago. This rapid pace of development underscores the strides made in AI research and implementation, opening doors to new possibilities and applications across various domains.
